As a building ages, its structural integrity can weaken. Shoring practices play an imperative role in the safety and security of structures, both new and old. Intended as a temporary solution to structural issues, shoring is a complex process that must take into account  numerous variables such as building materials, ground stability, weather, and surrounding infrastructure.

Topics to be covered will include an in-depth discussion of the process of shoring related to historic structures; the role of preservation contractors in this process; emergency shoring situations; and detailed case studies of shoring of local buildings. The program will feature three speakers, each an expert in this field.

 

Speakers:

Jeffrey Beane,
Associate, Silman
Eric Hammarberg
Associate Principal,  WJE Engineers & Architects
John J McErlean, P.E., S.E.
Principal, Plan B Engineering
